Designed by musicians for musicians, this app combines powerful ChordPro rendering with a sleek, distraction-free interface that ensures you never miss a beat or a lyric.

The app remembers your settings for every track. Touch-to-Pause: Tap pause, manually scroll up and down or use the nudge buttons.

ChordPro Support: Full support for standard directives like {title:}, {artist:}, and {subtitle:}.

Perfect for guitarists, bassists and keyboard players who need harmonic cues at a glance. SONG SECTIONS: Use Quick Insert to add the sections such as Verse 1, Chorus, Bridge etc in bold and in the colour set in settings. GIG-READY SET LISTS: Set up set lists for all your gigs.
